I have been using PCRecruiter for the past 14 years, and so I have been able to see its evolution according to the technology changes during that time period. Also during that time, I tried other ATS from some of my clients, and kept noticing the differences. Starting with the fact that PCRecruiter is very robust, with the particularity that it is web based, and it integrates with many tools that I use, such as LinkedIn and Interseller. In the past, we used to insert a lot of information manually, but PCR has evolved to the point where we can PCR Capture profiles from work focused social media, such as Linkedin and Xing. After the learning curve, it is very easy to use, although at the beginning it can be overwhelming due to the robustness of the system, and how customizable it is. You can manage clients, vendors, candidates, and positions (jobs). You can customize each profiles however is most suitable for your needs. You can manage a position pipeline and automate the messages that the candidates and clients receive in each step of the process. They have recently implemented a sequencing option, which allows you to prepare mailing lists and send marketing messages automatically. It still has room for improvement, but they are headed the right way. If I had to pin point a major problem they have, is the undo option when working with rollups. Sometimes when selecting profiles on a rollup and changing their stages, the profiles stay selected and you can keep selecting other profiles and setting them to another stage without deselecting the previous profiles. This is very annoying, and even thought we have implemented a checklist so we don't forget to deselect the previous records, sometimes it happens that we set a stage by mistake, or even remove profiles from a rollup by mistake. An undo button would be extremely helpful. Or an automatic deselection to records that have been set to a stage.
  • Pipelining candidates for client
  • Integrating with other systems
  • Customization of clients, candidates and position cards
  • Rollups (kind of a rollodex)
  • PCR Capture from social media
  • Not having an undo button
  • Should automatically deselecting items on roll ups when a stage is set.
PCRecruiter is great for staffing and recruiting companies that are looking to organize their database. It is also suitable for companies that are also wanting to organize their recruiting processes. Many companies still receive resumes in paper and do not digitalize them. It is even suitable for sales and marketing departments, since you can do marketing and track sales with it.
  • We have a 60K+ database of candidates
  • You can attach documents to each candidate
  • Using PCR Capture you can keep candidates information updated
I still keep using some of these, but PCR is my main place for profiles, since I can find someone on Linkedin, enrich it with another tool and keep it all in one place, PCR Recruiter. Its versatility when it comes to adding information and documents, organizing and visualizing content is incomparable.

Customer support is very fast and friendly. PCR provides an option to open help desk tickets, which are always answered promptly and accurately. I have always received the answers and guidance I am looking for. I think they have a great team and keep growing it to provide the best support.
I have not purchased premium support.
Yes
I have reported several bugs throughout 14 years using the tool. These are always resolved promptly.
Just back in February this year, I contacted the support team regarding a configuration with our PCR Portal, since it was presenting license issue with some of our users. I attached the screenshot and recorded a small video of the problem. This was at 10:28AM. At 11:00AM I had already a response and a solution from the suport team.

  • UI - too many split screens and tabs
  • Hard to toggle between areas
  • Lacks a "current" look and feel overall
Overall it is outdated compared to some other products. The support is [PCRecruiter]'s claim to fame. The people are available, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
  • Hard to say in terms of $$$
  • It worked well over the years for us
  • Lagging in innovation and user interface
  • Too many clicks to get around
[From my experience it is] lagging in UI, recruiters have to "work for the software" rather than the "software doing things for the recruiter". Data mining is a good one for positions and candidates.

Small glitches but nothing major, resolved satisfactorily.
This can best be answered by our internal support person. [PCRecruiter] always did me proud with their support! Well done and Thank you.
Average in use and appearance. Too many clicks and tabs which is clunky for me.
  • Not elegant, but simple
  • Moving around, navigation clunky and cumbersome

We are recruiters and everyone uses it. It is used daily to track everything from candidates, job openings, interviews, placements and of course reports. Our project coordinators find it very easy to add both companies and candidates linking them together as well and moving candidates to new companies. The search capabilities are very easy to use to prepare for new searches and projects.
  • I am not a computer person but find it easy to work with
  • Notes, tracking and linking candidates to companies
  • Holding history
  • Uploading candidates
  • Just simple with a lot of functions
  • Searching the database is very easy and preparing lists to call is simple. It is easy to expand or narrow searches as needed.
  • I love the interface between Outlook and PCR it makes it very easy to not have multiple screens to go back and forth to.

I have used PCRecruiter (PCR) for over 15 years. If every vendor that we work with was as good a PCR my life would be a lot better. The functions of the software meet all of our needs; customer service is extraordinary, if you have a suggestion they listen!
PCR has evolved over the years to keep up with new things that are happening like social media. As stated they listen to suggestions and take input seriously.
  • I have been doing the business for a long time and started when we did everything with paper , note cards and notebooks. PCR has made it very easy to search our database and track candidates.
  • Adding new candidates has become a simple task
  • Moving candidates to new companies is seemless
  • The key is using the skill codes so you can find the companies and candidates [you] have in the database so you can recall them. The setup, in the beginning, will save a lot of time and help make money.
  • Taking advantage of their interface with Outlook so who you need to be in touch with is in your phone directory is invaluable.
As mentioned above we did an exhausted search and choose PCR. We took a chance as PCR was new to the market but we were very comfortable with the staff as they understood our business and needs. They continue to do so and have growth with the market. We are raving fans of PCR. I have recommended it to numerous companies and have never heard a complaint from any that have chosen PCR.
You call and they take care of it including when you have a suggestion for a change or upgrade.
No
There is no need and I am not sure they even have it. The product is very good and we do not have many problems. When we do they could not be more responsive.
No
When we switch computer systems early on they stayed with us the whole day to help with the transition. Now that is is cloud base that problem does not exist but I still feel that one of the companies strengths is that they care and take care of any issues that arise. I also love that they listen to suggestions as they seem to want to always improve the product.
